Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is hereby made to (i) the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of
July 28, 1998 (the "Agreement"), among Raytheon Company, a Delaware corporation
("Raytheon"), Raytheon Systems Georgia, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("RSG"),
Raytheon TI Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("RTIS" and, together with
Raytheon and RSG, the "Sellers"), and DRS Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Buyer") and (ii) the letter agreement relating thereto, dated
as of July 28, 1998 (the "Side Letter"), by and among the Sellers and the Buyer.
Defined terms used herein without definition have the meanings given them in the
Agreement.
The Sellers and Buyer agree as follows:
1. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(i) Section 1.1(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to
read as follows:
"(b) Subject to Section 12.27, all of the Sellers' billed and unbilled
accounts receivable relating primarily to either of the Businesses
outstanding on the Closing Date, including the accounts receivable listed
on Schedule 1.1(b) to the extent not collected prior to the Closing Date,
in
each case to the extent reflected on the Closing Balance Sheets (as defined
in Section 3.2), as finally adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2;"
(ii) Section 1.2(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to
read as follows:
"(b) any of the Sellers' cash, marketable or other securities,
commercial paper and cash equivalents or other investments, on hand or in
bank accounts, and all of the Sellers' bank accounts and the Progress
Payments (as defined in Section 12.27)."
(iii) Section 3.2(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the
last sentence thereof.
(iv) The last sentence of Section 3.2(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended
to read as follows:
"Attached hereto as Schedule 3.2 is a statement of Net Assets as of
December 31, 1997, based on the December Statement and procedures for
calculating Net Assets as provided above (the 'Model Statement')."
(v) Section 3.2(d) of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to
read as follows:
"(d) Upon the determination pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section
3.2 of the definitive Closing Balance Sheets and the Net Assets as of the
Closing Date, the Purchase Price shall be either (i) increased by the
amount, if any, by which the amount of Net Assets is greater than
$29,051,000 or (ii) decreased by the amount, if any, by which the amount of
Net Assets is less than $29,051,000 (the "Adjustment"); provided, however,
in no event will any upward Adjustment, excluding any upward Adjustment
attributable to the acquisition of the equipment described in Schedule
3.2(d), exceed $7,000,000, unless the Closing occurs after October 20, 1998
(in which event the maximum upward Adjustment shall be subject to
modification by the parties), in which case an upward Adjustment may exceed
$7,000,000. If the Purchase Price is increased, the Buyer shall pay such
amount to the Sellers, and if the Purchase Price is decreased, the Sellers
shall pay such amount to the Buyer. Any such payment shall be made in cash
or same day funds within ten (10) days after the determination of the
Adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c). Any such payment shall bear interest
from the Closing Date to the date preceding payment at a rate equal to the
"Prime Rate" as set forth from time to time in The Wall Street Journal
"Money Rates" column from the Closing Date to the date preceding payment."
(vi) Section 5.5 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read
as follows:
"The Sellers have furnished to the Buyer, and attached as Schedule 5.5
hereto is, a copy of the Statement of Assets to be Acquired and Liabilities
to be Assumed of the Ground EO Business and FPA Business on a combined
basis as of December 31, 1997 (the 'December Statement'). The December
Statement has been audited by PriceWaterhouse Coopers LLP, the Sellers'
independent accountants, but is in draft form subject to changes in the
footnotes to describe any changes to the ancillary agreements described in
the footnotes and subject to delivery of PriceWaterhouse Coopers LLP's
audit opinion after consummation of the Closing. The December Statement has
been prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly presents in all material
respects the combined financial position of the Businesses as of December
31, 1997, except as otherwise disclosed in the notes to the December
Statement."
vii Section 5.17 of the Agreement is hereby amended by amending paragraph
(a)(ii) in its entirety to read as follows:
"(ii) Each of the Businesses has all licenses, permits and
governmental consents required under Environmental Laws for the operation
of the Businesses as presently conducted (the "Environmental Permits") and
there are no violations, investigations or proceedings nor, to the
knowledge of the Sellers, are any investigations or proceedings pending or
threatened, with respect to the Environmental Permits except where the
failure to have such Environmental Permits or where the violation,
investigation or proceeding relating thereto would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Environmental Permits
are listed on Schedule 5.20 hereto. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Environmental Permits include one or more air discharge
permits relating in part to the FPA Business (the "Texas Air Permits"). The
Texas Air Permits are sufficient in all material respects for the operation
of the Sellers' businesses at the TI Expressway site in Dallas, Texas
(including the S/C building and the Research West building) as currently
conducted, including the FPA Business. After the Closing the Sellers will
cooperate with the Buyer to cause the applicable regulatory authorities to
issue one or more new air permits (as replacements for the Texas Air
Permits as they relate to the FPA Business) applicable to the FPA Business
as owned by the Buyer, with the applications for such air permits to
request permitted discharge levels sufficient to permit the FPA Business to
continue its operations as currently conducted. To the knowledge of the
Sellers, there is no reason the issuance of such new air permits will not
be granted by the applicable regulatory authorities. RTIS as owner of the
FPA Business, if it wished to increase from current levels the level of
VOCs permitted to be
generated, would be eligible for the exemption provided under 30 Tex Admin.
Code tit. 30, ss.106.225."
(viii) Article 12 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following Section 12.27:
"12.27. Progress Payments. (a) The Sellers shall retain as Excluded
Assets the right to receive $2,195,772 in progress payments as described on
Schedule 12.27 hereto (the 'Progress Payments')."
(b) The Sellers will be responsible for collecting the Progress
Payments and will have the right to take all commercially reasonable
actions in collecting the Progress Payments consistent with past practice.
The Buyer will provide reasonable cooperation to the Sellers in collecting
the Progress Payments. In the event that the Buyer receives any amounts
with respect to the Progress Payments, it will promptly remit such amounts
to the Sellers."
(ix) Section 12.22(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
phrase "per person" at the end of the second sentence, by amending the reference
to September 30, 1998 to November 25, 1998 and by adding the following after the
third sentence of Section 12.22(a):
"RSG also agrees to allow Buyer to use space in the Georgia Facility
for storage of equipment only through December 11, 1998."
(x) Section 15.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by amending clause
(a)(i) in its entirety to read as follows:
"(i) the Closing shall not have occurred on or before October 20,
1998 or, in the event the DOJ provides an extension as contemplated by
Section IV of the Final Judgment, until the end of such extension,
other than as a consequence of the material breach or the material
default of this Agreement by the terminating party,"
(xi) The Agreement is hereby amended by amending all references to
"December Balance Sheets" to "December Statement".
(xii) The Disclosure Schedules are hereby amended by adding thereto as
Schedules 3.2, 3.2(d), 5.5 and 12.27 the attached Schedules 3.2, 3.2(d), 5.5 and
12.27.
2. Contract Assignment and Novation. Pursuant to Section 18.3 of the
Agreement, the Buyer intends (i) to assign to DRS EO, Inc., ("DRS EO"), a
Delaware corporation wholly-owned by the Buyer, the Buyer's right to acquire the
Acquired Assets
and assume the Assumed Obligations related to the Ground EO Business and (ii) to
assign to DRS FPA, L.P. ("DRS FPA"), a Delaware limited partnership of which the
Buyer is the sole limited partner and a corporation wholly-owned by the Buyer is
the sole general partner, the Buyer's right to acquire the Acquired Assets and
assume the Assumed Obligations related to the FPA Business. In connection with
the transfer or novation of Assumed Contracts contemplated by Sections 12.1 and
12.2 of the Agreement, the Buyer agrees that if any party to such Assumed
Contract requests that the Buyer provide a guaranty with respect to the
obligations under the Assumed Contract of DRS EO or DRS FPA, the Buyer will
provide such a guaranty in a form generally comparable to the Guaranty to be
delivered by the Buyer pursuant to Section 18.3 of the Agreement, and with such
guaranty in any event guaranteeing all obligations guaranteed by the applicable
Seller in any novation agreement relating to such Assumed Contract and provided
that any guarantees to be provided by the Buyer or any Seller will also be in a
form acceptable to the Department of Defense. In addition, in connection with
the novation of Government Contracts contemplated by Section 12.2 of the
Agreement, the Buyer will take commercially reasonable steps to satisfy novation
requirements, including, if necessary, converting ownership of the FPA Business
to a corporation.
3. Export Licenses. With respect to the permits and licenses referred to in
Schedule 5.20 of the Disclosure Schedule, attached for the Buyer's reference as
Annex A is an updated list of export licenses still applicable to the FPA
Business and the Ground EO Business.
4. Wiring Instructions. At the Closing, the Buyer will wire transfer to
Raytheon Company the sum of $45,000,000, which represents the Purchase Price
prior to the adjustments provided for in Section 3.2(d).
The wire transfer should be made to the following account:
